He just likes challenge you, head down and pawing the ground trying to charge you. Last night he got in the hay lot as I was feeding hay and about got me. I have a hot wire around the lot and after I got him out he jumped the gate as I was putting it back up, he has been getting worse lately about coming after people.

Not good. Might be time for him to go. Do his calves act the same?

With handling bulls I do not take any nonsense from them but as they mature i will not put myself into a direct confrontation with them as in head on, I leave that to my dog Jed to do, he will bite them on the nose and grab hold of their cheek and turn them back very effectively and once turned I will come in and drive them along with his help. If you challenge them head on and you lose, you have lost your power over them for ever, best to avoid that direct confrontation. When I am working my bulls my dog Jed will be lying in the adjacent yard and they know he is there and they toe the line, Jed is quick to move if any of them give any $hit.
